David PollardSenior Scientist, Earth System Science Center and Earth & Environmental Systems Institute, Pennsylvania State University.Dave is an expert in the application and construction of ice sheet and climate models, including the coupling of large geophysical numerical codes, and in applying these models to paleoclimatic problems.

Robert DeContoProfessor, Department of geosciences, University of Massachusetts, Amherst.Rob is an Earth System modeler and paleoclimatologist with extensive expertise in GCM-ice sheet coupling, the adaptation of nested, high-resolution regional climate and ice models over Antarctica and Greenland, and methods of model-data comparison.

Paul J HeartyResearch Associate Professor, Dept. of Environmental Studies, University of North Carolina, Wilmington. Paul’s expertise includes stratigraphy, sedimentology, paleontology, and the geologic record of sea level change.

Natalya Gomez - former PhD student and Postdoctoral research scientist, currently Assistant Professor at McGill University. Natalya's work is focused on the coupling of ice sheet, sea level and solid Earth deformation models.
